After reviewing the song i was able to hear the progression 1-5-6-4-1. I could also hear from the 6 it moves to the 2 where there is a chromatic walk from the 2-3 to the 4 and walked back from the 4-3-2 to the 1.
" walked back from 4-3-2-1"  ;) :D.  What number dont you here but your ears are pulling you towards it ?/?

I agree with Gemini47 I don't actually hear the 5 but it does seem it does seem to want to resolve there. Gemini47 i hope we are right. ;)

NOTE: Most of the time the "2" wants to resolve to the "5" and the "5" wants to resolve to the "1"  The 2-5-1 is a common progression and you will here this in a lot of songs.  Get used to herring this progression as a "group"

Okay guys we're going to continue with the next test.( ear training )   By now your ears should be condition to hearing the numbers. If you had problems hearing the numbers in the last test don't worry keep working at it and before you know it you'll hear it loud and clear. This time I'm not going to give you all the numbers, I'll just give the root number, the "1" and you have to listen to  and sing the rest of the numbers with out your bass! ?/?  Then write down your answers, post it! when you post it then go back and listen to the song again and if you want to change your answer, go head change your answer, change it as many time as you like, then when you feel confident about your answer just say, " this is my final answer."  Try not to cheat by picking up your bass before you post your answer. Now once you post your final answer then pick up your bass and check your self!  ;D...Oh the "1" is "B"

I'll give you guys a few days to work on this before I give the answer.  When you're playing in a live situation with the choir/praise team and other musicians and you (bass player ) don't know the song. you must be able to hear the numbers and respond quickly! One of the test that I'm going to give is going to be timed... you'll have a few min to come up with your answer, it will be an open book test (with your bass in your hands)  :D . I'll try to set this up so that most of us can be on line at the same time for this test.

We're not going to rush through, "hearing and playing by numbers" I want to make sure you guys understand this stuff before we move on. we're  also going to continue learning how to add "fill ins between the numbers. I recommend using headphone while working on these lessons. ;)

Your doing an awesome job with the beginners. you and Sean Byrd should coordinate so that your lessons will lead then right in to his lessons.

I hear 1 - 7 - 6 - 2 - 5 - 1, I also think I hear the 6 -1 as passing notes walking up to the 2 from the 7. Well that's my take so far.

Arthur i have to honest.  This is my first ear training lesson. I tried but unfortunately i could not do this without using my bass. I am probably not on point but i think it is: 1-7-6 8-7-5 3-4-5 4-5-1.  I will continue to work on this. I am going to start humming and singing the numbers throughout my day.
